Lol, the vegetable Kale was the problem. That's the only thing my parents had bad to say about it. :P I don't think that's such a bad thing, I just don't want people thinking "You named your kid a vegetable? You're insane."

All my other names are pretty traditional, but I love the sound of this.

Crane and Calder aren't really my style. I like the -Ale name ending. Kind of like Gale from Hunger Games, only not actually using the name Gale.

Well I think Gale is gorgeous, though it's a more feminine name to me.

How about Hale? He'd have a great namesake in NathanHale, a positive association with the word "hale" as in healthy and strong... and the homonym "hail" which is in keeping with the stormy feeling of Gale. Hale as a name is an old English surname that means "shelter."
